But my Asian parents EXPECT a 35 for both lol.
i feel for you bro. my parents used to be kinda like this but theyve been alot lighter on me nowadays. i kinda feel like i really lucked out on it haha.
cos similarly i come from a kenyan/indian background & culture which prizes success and hard work; but then like a few days ago mum sat me down and was all like:
"honey you tried your best. even if you get a study score of 6 we will still love you."
i was so touched, so i asked her "but what if i get a 5?"
and then she was all like "hahaha......no. less than 6 and we disown you."
but seriously they used to be like super hardcore (when id come home with 97 they'd be all like "where is the other 3%"

) but eventually i think they maybe either gave up on me or...or yeah they just probably gave up on me....
yes I'm cereal, you can be jelly 
lol that's why I did 2 this year so I could only need to do 4 next year, I guess you could drop one if you'd like? (if you're allowed)
I actually don't know how I'd react if I scored a 20 though. Like 20 is a laughing stock at my school.
but 34 isn't even that bad!!! like I mean, higher than 30! 
Ugh i feel you. the sucky thing is that if you do well once the whole universe expects it from you again..its difficult to let go of school + teacher + friends' expectations :/ the expectation of doing well is overpowering.
i really love all the subjects i've chosen this yr tho and i'm super duper excited about taking them all next yr.

even english hahaha.
idek i feel as if i put my very soul into lit this yr...went crazy for a perfect sac record, woke up at five drafting essays, spent 40+ hours in the library during my few days of swotvac. i was so totally
in love with my subject, id feel heartbroken if the examiners didn't acknowledge or see the way i put my heart into it, you know...idek. i feel as if i have something to prove here.
